HOW-TO STEPS

1

Prep hair by shampooing with Wella Professionals Elements Renewing Shampoo and Conditioner for a cleansed, healthy-looking base.

While hair is still damp, apply Roz St. Lucia Styling Oil from the mid-lengths through the ends for shine and hydration. 

3

For buildable volume, next, apply Wella EIMI Root Shoot Precise Root Mousse before blowdrying.

Using a round brush, blow out the hair until thoroughly dry. Set hair with velcro rollers to lock in volume and create a base for the 70s inspired glam waves.

To finish the style, use L’Oreal Professionnel STEAMPOD Flat Iron & Styler to smooth out any flyaways created from the rollers and add definition through the ends of the waves.
